We ordered the loaded potato skins. They were good. We might stop by another time and get a sandwich or some ice cream. The booths were very old timey and had a nice atmosphere.

My homemade cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato was good. I enjoyed looking at all memorabilia on the walls. It actually made me think of being in a real boxcar of sorts. I meant to get ice cream in a handmade waffle cone but was full from the burger and fries. It was more fun going here than the McDonald’s. I could go to McDonald’s anytime, anywhere… but this is a one of a kind experience here in Bryson City, NC.

Wonderful food! One of the best burger and dogs I have had and I consider myself an expert! Truly amazing short order grill food! Onion rings, cheese fries and that hamburger was so thick and huge I almost could not take a bite… We will be back every time we are in the area!

Food was very overpriced. My burger was cold. The fries were okay. Best thing about it was the soda. Also no bathroom and the older woman who worked there was just sitting at the table in the corner staring at us. We felt uncomfortable, threw our food away and left. Will not be back. And I don’t recommend. Staff was rude.

My family and I stopped here for lunch. I had a burger and fries. My wife had a burger and onion rings. My mother-in-law had a Ruben. The food was pretty good. The only complaints would be the food was a little dry and the tries to maintain a 50s/60s vibe by mostly relying on memorabilia of Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe.

My first time here. Claims to be the best burger in town, and I can’t argue. I got the bacon pimento cheese burger. The sweet onion jam overpowered the pimento cheese and bacon, but the jam itself was good. Tater tots were fried to perfection. Service was fine.

This is a nice throwback restaurant with good food and great customer service! I had a BBQ pork wrap that was delicious! My husband had the fish and chips. The fries were so good but the fish was really greasy and not very tasty. The ice cream was also super delicious! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which was very accommodating and created a great atmosphere. We will definitely go back when we return to Bryson City in a few weeks.

Came to box car specifically for hot dogs. We ended up getting a hot dog, a couple of chili cheese burgers and loaded potato skins. All our food was exceptionally good. Martha did a great job cooking our meal and was also very friendly and attentive at the register. Would definitely recommend The Box Car Cafe.

DON’T get the chicken sandwich! It’s pressed something (BK original chicken sandwich is better) loaded onion rings were great, Reuben didn’t have much sauce but plenty of cheese, yes cheese. The French fries and fried pickles were great!
